March 9, 2025. OTTAWA, ON. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) congratulates Mark Carney on his election as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
Mr. Carney will be sworn in as Canada’s next Prime Minister in the coming days.
Mr. Carney’s election as leader of the Liberal Party comes at a time when the Trump administration seeks to destroy Canada’s economy and upend the alliances which the Free World has relied on for the past eight decades.
By withholding air defence and intelligence sharing from Ukraine, the United States is undermining Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against Russia’s genocidal assault and in doing so, is enabling the war crimes being committed by Russia.
“Mr. Carney’s skill and experience will serve Canada well,” stated Alexandra Chyczil, National President of the UCC. “As the United States of America challenges our sovereignty and appeases Russia, it is more critical than ever that we dedicate more resources to strengthening our defence and to providing more military and economic aid to support Ukraine’s victory. The UCC looks forward to continuing to work with the Liberal Party and all political parties on these priorities.”
